HIEU’S LATEST BOOK:

Hieu escaped from Vietnam to the United States at age thirteen and alone. This experience, as well as his experience adapting to an entirely new culture and language, taught him about the strength in each person and about the power of the mind. One of his goals in life is to motivate people, young and old, to live up to their full potential.
